Now I don't wonder anymore how the One Ring couldn't corrupt him. What a nice guy.
Beacuce he had it sush a short time, like Deagol, Malone on the otherside might turnout like Bilbo.
Man, this could not have happened to a better guy. Congrats to him!
It could have ... bunch of dudes who deserved it more
@@derionone True, could've happened to me even. 😂
I like how at the end the reporter holds up a random card to be like "ooh look what I found" ma'am that is a 2/2 bird token
Birds of a feather flock together.
That was my thought lmao. like "uhhh...that's actually not even technically a card"
Bird tokens are pretty great ngl.
Excellent work by this reporter in how she conducted herself, other reporters can stand to take note.
The reporter's last name is Bird, so she probably just got excited. But I like bird tokens lol.
The bird holding a bird
A guy who wins a lottery, and actually has a plan for the money, and still work. Amazing.
So happy for him, he looks like a solid dude 👏🏻👏🏻 Also, Posty having it now is amazing. Guy is a MTG legend. This is one of the rare occasions when a priceless treasure falls into good hands.
The one ring did not possessed him. He the real Frodo.
Or the real Sam. Sam was the strongest
Lmao im dead
Honestly I’m glad Post is the owner now.
Some people think it’s ridiculous but honestly that card will be priceless 5 years from now. The fact it even scored a 9 is awesome. It could’ve been pulled by a younger kid who maybe doesn’t care to grade cards and gone down in integrity. Really cool story and outcome.
that's true, some kid could have opened it and just kept it in his deck and ruined it. As we know any folds cuts or rips even if small diminish the value of the card
It'd be worth more actually.
@@chadheintzelman2122that's why OP said it's going to be priceless
This is my local game store, and I'm so proud that the ring was found here!
It would be awesome to see him on Command Zone with Post.
Great idea!
I would have made that part of the deal
Post Malone is the type of guy to play this in his casual EDH decks
What a lovely well spoken guy. Good on him.
Happy for this dude. Sad that his mom passed just a bit too soon for him to share the good news with her.
Completely agree, his statement about howw Post Malone will make sure the card lives I think is so true. It's not just gonna sit there, he will showcase it and be proud of it.
Dooope, congrats Brook & respect.., you sold The One Ring to the right person!
He seems like a descent dude. Glad he got this to happen for him and also seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
I’m happy Brook found it, seems like such a good dude. Good for him 🤙🏻
I'm glad it wasn't found by a game shop or collector.
And I'm happy a true lover of the game ended up with it!
I don't play magic but this guy seems so genuine. Super happy for him
LOVE this guy! Honestly the 001/001 story is such a solid good one and I’m sure the people at WotC would agree.
Seems like this guy is the real deal and he’s right. He couldn’t have sold it to a better guy either, as Post Malone genuinely does love and respect the Magic universe and knows his stuff for real. Good stuff all around.
Post Malone is a treasure!!!
With this 2.64 mil I think he has just enough money to start a Warhammer hobby
Great guy who found the card, great guy he sold it to. Win-win
The girl gives off vibes this is the fist time she's heard about LOTR, let alone Magic the Gathering.
The One Ring was
I can already hear someone memeing: 'Bring forth the ring, Malone!':
Thanks Chang for showing us your face before and after this video while you weren’t incorporated in it at all lmao
I feel so happy for this man ❤
I am Happy that this whole story got so Wholesome until the End.
He is Happy, Posty is Happy, Post Malones Financial Advisor probably gave up his Job. A real Everyone Wins Situation!
By the Way I just found iut that you can see a lot of Videos of Post playing mtg on TH-cam, wich is really funny. His music isn’t mine but as a Magic Player, he is Enjoyable to watch for people into that.
good for him!
I'm so happy to hear that he'll keep his job and do whatever he wants off the dividends and not touch the amount he received. He's definetly not going to make the money vanish and go back to ground zero like so many would in his situation. It's so rare to see "luck money" going to a person with the right mindset. It gives me a big relief, and I don't know why. It won't affect me personally. It1s just refreshing to hear.
Wow just look at how his hand shakes from the excitement! I love it jaja
Im so happy to see he was the one who found it.
Congratulations on all your success sir!!
The right guy found it and then the right guy bought it.
I'm actually curious how he knew what to do, because he's pretty smart. How many people would find the 1/1 and immediately reach out to a lawyer and a PR firm?
Dude seems genuine.....so happy for him ....and jealous cause he got to sell it to the post Malone
A part of me wanted the ring to be discovered but not made public. Just a super powerful collectable kept secret by it's keeper. Imagine how bent on finding it collectors would become.
I would sell it too. Owning it would just mean intruders in the night.
What a lovely man and it all worked out so beautifully ❤
Congratulations on the life changing event. God is great! God bless.
Why does it say with “Andrew Chang” but then it’s someone else doing the interview?
Best outcome possible! I’m happy he’s not a crypto bro that burned the original to keep the NFT copy…
This actually went to such a good guy and Postie is the man ! I mean I still think it’s crazy that MTG move with the One Ring card but let’s see what comercial stunt they pull out next 😅
prolly in some time, it will be marvel and the gauntlet,
early 24 first we will get fallout crossover
I wouldn’t be surprised if Wizards collaborated with this guy to make a card with his likeness
Good for him. I'm glad to see someone other than a scalper make some money off a card.
What a great dude.
I truly hope friends dont take advantage of this man and keep asking him for money.
This is awesome news
What a nice guy
Great video
Your mom sent the Ring your way... ❤
That is a lovely way to think of it actually.
Myyy precioussss
She must be really interested in those tokens xD
Smart guy. Hope he follows with the investment of his money. Huge move.
Very Euphoric
It must be taken to Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came! 🥺
Legend!
Someone who loves cards and comics get rewarded for staying true to his hobby. Awesome real life story :)
Damn, couldn've happened to a nicer bloke :) Awesome
HE IS THE COOLEST GUY EVER!!!!
They just called Face to Face Games a comic book store. LOL.
What a lucky guy
That card could be discovered in 20 years later, or remain forever in the back of a warehouse, or be contained in the package bought by a parent for his crying 6-year-old son. Could it also be discovered in France, Spain, Italy, England. Africa? everywhere. It could also have been found by a person unwilling to give it away. Instead it was found quickly and by a conscientious adult near the country that produces magic. I'm wondering: if it had never been found, what commercial backlash would the wizard have had?
congrats
$2.6M is a bargain compared to what it would have sold for at auction.
yeah he kinda got railroaded a bit.
Maybe, but now he can live with less stress. His decision and all
@@_cybik haha yeah, gotta love how a guy cracks a pack and casually makes 2,6 Million by selling it to post malone. And the first thing people say "what a moron he could've gotten way more money". Pretty sure the guy is happy with his 2,6 million.
@@TheRubsi could he have made more? Absolutely.
Is this money enough to live off of? Seeing as he said "I'm literally investing all of it and am planning on spending whatever dividends I get out of it", my dude looks like he has a solid plan already.
Hell, if he invests and gets "only" 5%? That's like 100k a year. Good years with 10% returns and my dude's going to be *comfortable* enough.
Backseat bank account managers can /oh/ my /oh lord/.
And finally, did he sell it to someone he wanted to? Did he find a home for the card that would NOT be speculators being complete and utter /WOW NO/s about the card and just vault it, and instead Posty's going to be loud about the card itself and show it and play with it? H*ll yes and I couldn't be happier about it.
How much more are we talking about ?
So what was the "Comic Book Store" that they were at? I doesn't look like they sell comics, at all.
Frodo should just nego with Sauron like this.
It wasn't luck. The One Ring chose Brook, and then it chose Posty
Face to Face is a board game store not comic books
Too cool 😎
Now that card it’s like 5/10 million , obviously is from Post Malone
one of a kind card and its graded at a 9 lol that makes no sense unless he damaged it a bit when opening the pack or it was flawed to begin with
i mean there is no other to compare with how it is not a 10😂
I would have stayed true to the lore and threw the card in a volcano.
Not sure it's luck, if you casually buy 3 boxes.
I didn't see Andrew Chang anywhere. Just having your face at the peripherals doesn't count wtf?
Wait I thought the card was found in Whitby. Didn't know Face to Face had anything to do with this
He is basically Frodo
This is going end in heartache. His first mistake was identifying himself on TicTac. Now he’s identified himself to Canada with 2.5M burning a hole in his pocket.
I do worry about this cause he seems like a pretty cool guy. Money puts a target on your back, much smaller amounts than 2mil.
what? do you think hes walking around with 2.6m in his backpack? he quite literally said hes going to invest his money and still work. dudes playing it smart and not balling out throwing money around. he'll be just fine.
@@OHSHITITSFUZZit's the friends, relatives and strangers that would be hounding him is the worry
good thing is he didn't cast it into a fire..
Not a comic book store but sure.
Can I get the card
i mean, well deserving guy to get it, but why the fk would u keep working, retire, live life to the fullest for fucks sake life is too short to be slaving away when u dont need to.
Charlie and the chocolate factory in real life...
Bruh, I woulda ripped it up...
Ok, now throw it in the fires of Mount Wotc
LMAO.
Did the guy get 2 million for it?
2,6 Million Canadian dollars.
don't help people out. lol
Buy a house in Toronto. 1.3 already gone haha
Bought with a Piece of Cardboard
dat token, lol!
You need more than to 2.5 to quit your job ? 😜
Best part is for $2 you can buy a near replica.
Only $2.5M sad.
I would've set the price to a solid $5M - $10M before I sold.
Eh, I doubt it would have sold for much more than 4 tbh.
@@zelow79 sad, I thought there would be more insanely rich nerd collectors who'd want the only version of this card :(
@@zelow79can't beat that either 😂
that card is useless to mortal hands. only I can read it. it is better to be in my possession.
its called tcg and not pcg lol so calling it a "playing card" is incredibly not right.
And it was found ofc in USA...
did you watch the video? it was in toronto canada lmao
Another reason to obtain the Forklift Certified passive.
2kk was way cheap...
Great Job
